“Is there really a sea monster in Loch Ness?” – In view of this urgent, if not very scientifically based question, what is probably the largest search in decades for the legendary “Nessie” began Saturday in Scotland.
Dozens of volunteers from all over the world posted on Saturday morning in partly torrential rain at 17 observation posts around the famous lake in the Highlands.
During the day, boats with special technology such as a hydrophone – a kind of underwater microphone – have to cross Loch Ness, which is up to 230 meters deep. The use of drones with thermal imaging cameras was also planned. According to the organizers – the Loch Ness Center tourist attraction and the Loch Ness Exploration volunteer group – it is the most systematic search since 1972. Sightings of a strange creature have been reported for centuries. In human judgment, however, it should not be a dinosaur or any other primeval figure. Assumptions range from seals to very large catfish to porpoises.
Project manager Alan McKenna stressed in Drumnadrochit village: “Finding the monster would be nice. But it’s about understanding it more.” The group plans to create an audio library that will record all the tones and sounds of the lake. That will take years, McKenna emphasises.
